It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-49866 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49866/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49866/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-49866","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49866/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-49866","record":{"aliases":["AZL-53343","BELL-CVE-2024-49866","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-49866","GHSA-8r4r-8c3p-6r95","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-49866"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel timerlat tracer can cause timer corruption and system warnings, potentially leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntracing/timerlat: Fix a race during cpuhp processing\n\nThere is another found exception that the \"timerlat/1\" thread was\nscheduled on CPU0, and lead to timer corruption finally:\n\n```\nODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object: ffff888237c2e108 object type: hrtimer hint: timerlat_irq+0x0/0x220\nWARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 426 at lib/debugobjects.c:518 debug_print_object+0x7d/0xb0\nModules linked in:\nCPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 426 Comm: timerlat/1 Not tainted 6.11.0-rc7+ #45\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014\nRIP: 0010:debug_print_object+0x7d/0xb0\n...\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n ? __warn+0x7c/0x110\n ? debug_print_object+0x7d/0xb0\n ? report_bug+0xf1/0x1d0\n ? prb_read_valid+0x17/0x20\n ? handle_bug+0x3f/0x70\n ? exc_invalid_op+0x13/0x60\n ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x16/0x20\n ? debug_print_object+0x7d/0xb0\n ? debug_print_object+0x7d/0xb0\n ? __pfx_timerlat_irq+0x10/0x10\n __debug_object_init+0x110/0x150\n hrtimer_init+0x1d/0x60\n timerlat_main+0xab/0x2d0\n ? __pfx_timerlat_main+0x10/0x10\n kthread+0xb7/0xe0\n ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x40\n ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n \u003c/TASK\u003e\n```\n\nAfter tracing the scheduling event, it was discovered that the migration\nof the \"timerlat/1\" thread was performed during thread creation.
